Home Breeding.
Dra.tfeaf Eavu-ar

We have imported into this country
| many foreign-bred animals and will i'm
port May more. But the charm that is
attached to an i'm ported animal, or rather
| that has been attached to it, is not so
powerful as it once was, either to the i'm
porter or to the customer. People are
more and more coming to demand merit
in stock. Pedigree will no. sell an ami
NAL to an intelligent buyer in these days.
The animal must have pronounced ipdi-
vidual merit aud not sport wholly upon
the merits of its ancestors. There was a
time when ANYTHING imported found a
ready sale because it was an importation.
But the in portation of animals is now
very largely governed by the Yankee en-
terprIse that hunts up whatever is meri-
t3rious anywhere in the world, and buys
il, but rejects whatever Is not worthy.
American breeding has now reached the
dignity of a science. We breed in this
country as good animals as are bred in
the world. and We are learning every day
The notion is prevalent that American
productions are just as good as foreign
productions if they are as good. In
other words, there are a great many
thousand stock buyers who prefer Amer
lean stock, everything being equal; aud
that is proper enough and commendable.
Nor does the notion antagonlze at ell the
interests Of importation if it il conduct
ed upon proper principle We have
not animals enough Of certain breeds at
least, bred here to supply the demand

cow rearing two English terriers, and,
Ike all puppies, they are full of fun,
froiic and mischief. Thursday he hitch
ed up horse to drive to the depot at
Ter guests. He tied the horse in front
Of the house to go inside for a moment.
The puppies had been following him to
the stable and were mucn interested in
his movements. As soon as he turnei
his back on them they went to work at
mischief. Mr.. Clark had tied the horse
somewhat cgrlessly in slip knot, and
the end of the halter hung nearly to the
ground. This the puppies espied swing
ing, and went TO playing with it. They
caught hold of it. and in pulling united
the knot. Then they were in high glee
over their success. They walked back
ward and growle d and tugged away at
The halter and led the horse on. When
hey saw the horse following them it in
cited them on, and backwards they went
until they led the horse into the lake.
rne horse was thirsty and warm and now
entered into the fun of the occasion by
walking out into the water and dragging
the puppies along. One let go, but the
other had his teeth fast in the rope and
was dragged out into the water. The
other puppy began to yelp,and this call
ID Mr.. Clarke out just IN time to save an
accident to his horse and wagon, and a
death to his favorite puppy.
